HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Surely you could build a better compact PC for this price
>>741640434Before the hardware crisis? Sure. Now? Nope.
>>741640323>amd
>>741640434Muh RAM prices
>>741640493Yeah
>>741640323>troonix$1500 paperweight.
>>741640323I'd hate to be anyone making a PC rn.
>Microsoft tells Trump to close the Strait and buy all the PC parts for """data centers""" so Valve cant enter the console market with a competitive priceI'm so tired of this shit
>>7416403232tb SSD is $400 nowwerent they like $100 year or two ago
>>741640323Would get the 1100€ bundle for the 512gb model+controller, if I wasn't a poorfag
>>741640323>it's real
>>741641217what if..... what if you bought multiple smaller ssds
>>741641318*ahem*
>>741641420don't forget to take your estrogen, sister
>>741641217SSDs are x2, RAM is x3 compared to a year ago
>>741640434>>741640480probably
>>741640434Not mini-ITX, but you can definitely build a tower for cheaper. Or just buy a gaming laptop.
>>741641765Tendiecession accepted.
>>741641771Way better performance but not portable and cant be brought to gatheri gs or parties.So its just like a laptop but without heating issues?
>>741642082always has been
>>741641771Website link plz?
Laughing with my 7900XTX, bought 2 years ago for $700, used, local Facebook. It just got official FSR 4.1 upscaling support too.
>>741642082Machine does use laptop CPU/GPU specs AFAIK.I honestly think with some effort you could build a miniITX PC yourself with better specs for the same money.>>741642130it's literally in the filename my guy
>>741641969I will never accept your gender change, sorry sister
>>741640323Does STEAMOS really.make that big of a differencd?
>>741640434>buh unda muh TV!Open wide for Gaben’s hot, brown Cleveland Steam droid
>>741641771>Huge case>650WNow show me the compact PC that consumes half as much power for specs that good or better
>>741642319On a z1e/2e which only has shitty support on windows from Asus or Lenovo, sure. For chips that actually have support through Amd, it will be less. It isnt going to magically make the machine outperform better and newer machines.
>>741640323Now somebody make a pc rig with the same specs for less then the base steam machine price. I'm waiting.
>>741640480I saw pre-builts at costco the other day starting at just under $1,000
>>741641420>even AI knows nintendo got humiliatedOH NO NO NO NO
>weaker than base ps5 >nearly twice the price >512gb ssd>no controller>linuxvalve drones on suicide watch kek
>>741642752>HURR DURR 650W PSU means it's consuming 650W at all timesyou cannot be this retarded anon I refuse to believe it.
>>741642443Its fucking main selling point is that it's so small you can put it on your TV stand like a console.
And to think I had actually thought I had overpaid for my old pre-built with a 3080 from a while back. Seems like we'll be sticking together for the next 10 years, old pal.
>>741642312Cope.
>>741640323$1400 for a gaming PC, controller and VR headset is not too bad.I-it includes the headset, r-right?
>>741643017Nope.
Is this really necessary?
hello fellow malaysian chads!
>>741642884If prebuilts now are the same as back then, anything at those prices tends to have a huge trade-off that you can find by going over the specs such as integrated graphics cards, vastly underwhelming amount of ram, small hd or inadequate power.
>>741643186Steam-fans are just behind PS-fans in terms of arrogance and shitting up discussions on /v/. So yes, this is very necessary.
>>741641420>bazooka
>>741640493Steam OS is Linux, AMD runs better on Linux. The real problem is how old the the cpu/gpu are not the brand fanboy wars.
>>741643186Typical snoygger If it costs like $650 when being subsidized, there would be few. Now, Valve can't do it cuz they're under investigation for being a monopoly in numerous countries. Even if they wanted to subsidize (they don't), they wouldn't because it would be fuel for a monopoly fire. You should thank those retarded dutch filing a lawsuit for muh monopoly.
>>741643186how else will jeets make money?
>>741643186Yes.
I'm laughing my ass off on top of my Rtx 5080
The hardware is bad, but the software seems even worse. I know gaymers are not computer-literate but you'd have to be a retard to want to use this as an OS.
>>741644004true
You're not poor, are you?
Steamniggers are coping so fucking hard it's unreal. This thing is goimg to have Virtual Boy tier sales.
>>741640323Gabe needs another yacht for deep coral exploration (sex trafficking) pls understand
>>7416403231428-1049 = $379You are paying $99 for the controller + $280 for 1.5tb SSD.The real price of that 2TB here is $374
>>741640480this shit is DOA$200+ premium for worse performance over DIY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO WAY HAHAHAHAHA>>741640434I have an mATX PC, it's not as small but it's also a square cube like the steam Machine, just bigger but that doesn't matter, bigger means there's enough space for full ATX cooling in there.I remade my pc build 2.5 years ago and it's packing a 5070ti and 7800X3D for about 1400 bucks.So yeah it was about the same price for mine and it's several times more powerful. Sure today the price wouldn't be the same but that's not my problem.
>>741646273genuinely what the fuck was valve thinking releasing this?who am I kidding, it's going to sell out anyway
>>741640323>Laugh at SteamgroidsWhy? Steamgroids already gave PCs. This machine for consolefags.
I’ll wait a year for it to go down in price.
>>741641420Oh my god. I didn't know Nintendo fucked themselves so hard with the lawsuit.Explains why we have tendies going apeshit over cubes pricing; they need to vent some energy off after getting anally raped. Lol.
>>741646802This.
I would sooner buy an HDD.
>>741643570>says the tendie
>>741647441waow mechanical parts that can fail. At least ssd will always just put itself to read-only when it no longer works and everything will be recoverable. HDD is good for long term storage though because it doesn't discharge over time if unplugged for very long like ssd do.
>snoys ass annihilated because they lost even more shitpost materialSad!
>>741640323Bruh
>>741640434And these assclowns at Microsoft and Sony think there is going to be a next gen by next year? Are they out of there fucking minds? My guess is they will delay it to 2030 once these retards come to their senses. I know they haven't been but there will be too much money on the line with new hardware that wouldn't sell.
>>741640323LMAO GAY STATION 5 IS ACTUALLY BETTER HAHAH
>>741640323Even if you're too dumb to build, you can buy a premade with better specs. What are they even smoking?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Valve is turning into Apple.
>A prebuilt is better!The Steam Machine is the size of a tissue box, near silent, uses only 140W of power, will be easily repairable, isn't limited to SteamOS and can never be rendered inoperable by a ban or shutdown, and has far cheaper games through Steam.And just works.
>>741646802Huh you're right lol
>>741641771>16gb ddr5>80 dollarswhen did you create that list? 2022?
>YFW you didn't buy a steam machine
>>741649553>size of a tissue boxDo you live in some liberal shithole shoe box that you have no room for a PC?
>1050 dollars + VAT + tolls & tariffs + Special Israel Solidarity Tax + 15% mandatory tip for a machine weaker than base PS5 and comes without a controllerThe absolute state
>>741649553Retarded tranny
>>741640434You can get a PC with a 5700X and a 9700XT for this price kekAnd with 32GB RAM too (ddr4)
>>741640323ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT U.S. DOLLARS
>>741642319What difference? The games run like shit
>>741641771>psu $80enjoy your house fire
>>741643186Yes
>>741640323
>>741640323Ever since the first steam machines dropped back in the early 2010s, it has been known that Valve cannot do hardware for shit. How Valvefags keep deluding themselves into thinking the next time is going to be different is a fucking phenomenon that needs to be studied.
>>741646608Is it? I don't think there are enough retarded subhumans that wont think>wait... I can get something way better for that price
>>741641771>>741640434That's assuming you live in a country with a good used parts market.If you live in any third world shithole the steam machine's price to performance ratio is superb for a PC.
>>741650087No, brownoid
>>741650068there are more than enough retarded humans in the world
Reminder, most steamfags have weaker specs than this tard cube, valve literally said they designed it with the average steam survey machine in mind lmao.
>>741640323This thing is not aimed at sweaty gamers who know what a gpu is.
>>741646273A 7600 is not an equivalent GPU, it's nearly fucking double the performance.
>>741640323Steamies lost and got raped... again!
>>741640323I hate sony, but why wouldn't anyone just get a PS5 over this overpriced piece of shit? Even with the current dogshit hardware prices, a regular PS5 is still considerably cheaper than this, while being more powerful.What the fuck is Valve thinking?
>>741640323i will buy one just to flex on the poors in this thread
>>741650416>What the fuck is Valve thinking?how they can milk their cultists even harder to buy more yachts and mansions most likely
So realistically what kinds of games could you actually run on this thing? Hero shooters or GAAS slop toned down to medium settings? This isn't for cutting edge grafix type games clearly.
>>741650224Yeah but a guy like that probably plays CS and Dota at 26 fps and is happy he can buy enough food that month

>>741650416>get a PS5I want to be able to play whatever games I want from whatever storefront I want instead of overpriced Snoy store shit. Including pirated shit of course. Also no need to pay for multiplayer.Steam Machine is a tough sell. It only makes sense for someone who really wants a brand new gaming PC, that wants console-like experience but with the freedom PC ecosystem provides, while also wanting it to be smol and cute to fit it in some furniture on the living room.
>>741650796now i laugh at youHAHAHA HI HI HI HEHEHEHEHE TIHIHIHI
lol just getting a used gaming laptop at that price point. I sold my 3070 equivalent laptop for $600 a few months ago. Potential buyers can probably get much better with $1000.

>>741640323> +$300 for +1.5TB storageThat's crazy, for only $99 I was able to buy--HOLY SHIT prices have gone up
>>741650991How many of those steamgames are worthwhile (and aren't GAASlop)?How many of those worthwhile games aren't just on the switch as well?

You don't need to buy a steam machine to play steam games. Let the rich fan boys and retarded scalpers buy it.
>>741651381/g/ will tell you the same shit, it's pajeet central now.
>>741643186Yes. Whenever something big happens in vidya, it takes multiple threads to cover it from different angles. Get used to it, newfag.This happens on all topic boards, respectively.

>>741642884but how good? I bought a pre-built in 2021 for $1400 and it's weaker than a PS5. I'm a fucking retard.
>>741652141the bumchin will never not be funny
>>741652141seems pretty childish to get triggered over a 4 second clip of people sitting on a couch playing a game because they're offensive to your sensibilities anon
>>741650991If you're someone who pirates games, then it's probably worth buying over a console.
this is why i kept saying that wee need to just start doing cmos lithography at home to build our own microelectronics, but people kept saying i was a schizo. who's the schizo now?
If you don’t buy the Steam Machine then you’re just a poor cuck who never really loved Steam
>>741640323>Got a new high end PC before AI fucked up hardware prices foreverFeels so fucking good, man.
>>741640323Trump's war – which resulted in a loss by the way – really fucked over Gabe Newell and Valve Corporation.

>>741642082>not portable and cant be brought to gatheri gs or partiesWtf are you bringing a steam machine to a gathering for? If you're having a lan party, you'll bring all your other crap anyway and it doesn't matter if it's a tower or a shoebox.
>>741640323>512 GBThe fuck? What are you going to be able to store like 2 or 3 games on there?
this shit was supposed to be $700.honestly at $700, its was a pretty good deal.blame ai and the computer part companies willing to sell all their fucking stock to ai farms
>>741640323That is absurd. I was planning on getting one of these for my kids, but at this point it's looking like it will be a both grandparents plus parent joint present. In what world do they think that price is reasonable?
>>741640323>1k for 512gb>16gb of RAM>no controllerThis has to be a joke. No way Steam greenlighted this embarrassement
>>741640434I literally bought a prebuilt pc recently for a family member that had way better specs with that price. Steam is fucking retarded
>>741656704they couldnt even throw in a chinkoid 20 dollar mouse keyboard comboif your just getting into pc gaming and you pick the cheapest option you have a paperweight
>>741646608Bold of so many anons to assume everyone is willing to build their own systems. Everyone is throwing these hard numbers around like a smoking gun but everybody seems to forget that the convenience factor of a plug and play 1st party machine is itself a value proposition for many people. It's literally why consoles as a market is even able to exist.If people want to make a better comparison, they should be putting the Steam Machine up against pre-builts, not a list of hardware.
Don't care, still buying itKeep seething poorfags
>>741657159Only a retarded poorfag would buy this
>>741657105There are better prebuilts on the market though, even if you're specifically after gaming mini-PC have better options like pic rel, in spite of how rare gaming mini-PCs are (there's a good reason for that, it's a stupid concept)
>>741650056>Ever since the first steam machines dropped back in the early 2010s, it has been known that Valve cannot do hardware for shitThe first Steam Machines were 3rd party devices you disingenuous faggot. A big part of their failure was precisely because Valve DIDN'T do hardware.
>ITT: seething poorfags
>>741657105I can find a prebuild online that is 5% costier at worst and it'll have double the performance of your gabecube. This is embarrassing
>>741640434The reason people are freaking out is because a lot of people built pcs around coronavirus and do not realize they would need to pay drastically more for something on par with what they bought 5 years ago. This is the new "cheap" metric for PC gaming whether we like it or not.
>>741640885lol wtf my 4080 pre built cost less than that when I got it three years ago
>>741640323>that random czech store with the 1000€ price posted 2 months back was 100% right Lmao, who remembers steamdrones coping back then?

>>741652141>Average cuphead player
it will be funny if valve kills windows/linux support and forces everyone to buy that shit to play games from steam pirates win again
>>741640323>SteamgroidsWhite men are buying this.

Rough, not gonna buy.>$1k to $1.5k will push people to prebuilts and custom builds>current snoy backstock is cheaper and more performant>only reason to buy is steamOS niceties, compact home theater PC solution, or supporting Windows alternatives for PC gamingBut also,>prebuilts and custom builds are only going up as pre-datacenter backstock vanishes, valve's pricing here is probably future-accurate>snoy and xbox and tendies will be enjoying this sort of price hike for their next hardware releases
>gets btfo by a PS5AHAHAHA>PS5 Pro is like $150 cheaper, comes with a controller and triple the storage and has almost 2x the performance AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>741657371>Umm ackstually they were third party made which absolves Valve of any wrongdoing Get Gaben's dick out for your mouth before you speak faggot.
>>741658473SteamOS runs on Arch Linux.
>>741658473>he doesn't know proton is a shared forkable library used by multiple other free competing linux distros
>>741657959Wow, you brutally humiliated that dumb butt hurt Steamie!In fact, all of the dumb butt hurt Steamies are getting eternally BTFO ever since Valve released the Steam Machine for people to review it!
>>741657530Fair, but that still doesn't address the value proposition for some people to have a piece of hardware that is entirely 1st party. Again, this is why the console market even exists, to ignore that aspect when assigning a value to a product means you're already coming to the table without a full deck. People can screech at the top of their lungs about finding better hard value with a breakdown of parts pricing, but it won't change anything. PC users have been making this same argument against consoles for literal decades. If hard value is all that mattered, consoles would have died in the 2000s. Ironically I won't bother with the Steam Machine because I already own a Deck with a dock, which is basically a Steam Machine Lite (streaming box with SteamOS connected to my main PC over LAN).
>>741658473>these are the retards you share a board withNo wonder these threads are so shit
>>741658984>Fair, but that still doesn't address the value proposition for some people to have a piece of hardware that is entirely 1st party.I understand where you're coming from. But this would hold true if Valve had an existing hardware ecosystem for developers to specifically build for when making games. This weird hybrid PC machine with none of the benfits of dedicated console systems or actual PC performance sits in a pretty bad spot, imo.>If hard value is all that mattered, consoles would have died in the 2000s.They personally did for me, save for consoles like the Wii and DS/3DS line and that was only due to the gameplay gimmicks they offered. Consoles officially died with the PS4 and Xbox One in my eye
>>741640323Valve already decided to cut their losses, that's why they're releasing it now. If they just let most of the components sit while trying to wait for the Prices of the parts to drop, it will all be obsolete by time it drops (a big 'if')
>>741640323Only $2021 leaf dollars (+ tariff tip)!

>>741650416PS5's price is lower because of economies of scale. Valve definitely didn't have the infrastructure for mass production to keep the prices down, so this is literally all they could do without owning a legit factory and supply.

So we're calling it the Meme Machine now, right?
>>741660714Costco surprisingly has some good ones
>>741659212I would argue that Valve already has an ecosystem. They're working backwards from others, they went software first (Steam) and are now integrating hardware and software features. One of the biggest reasons why the original Steam Machines failed was because the technology and the ecosystem just wasn't mature yet. For example the remote play dongle fucking sucked, WiFi speeds were ass, LAN protocols weren't as efficient for streaming and the controller was weird and lacked mainstream software support. As someone who has tinkered on and off with an LCD steam deck as TVPC and device to stream from my PC over LAN, I can totally understand what Valve is trying to do here, its just expensive for what it is from a strictly hardware standpoint.>Consoles died for me in the 2000sHonestly same, my life changed when I stuck an 8800GT into my mom's shitbox pre-built Dell. But now that I'm older I understand the appeal of sitting in the couch with a controller, which a TVPC has allowed me to do.

im tired at how expensive everything is these days, how the few jobs left pay less and how hard it is in general.give it to me for real, is it going to get better?
>>741661750________No
get mogged troonmachine
>>741661750A century from now, once the existing luxuries, corporations and standards of living to which we've become accustomed have crashed and burned and the lack of nice things has created a massive demand without a supply to fill it, yes, things will get better. Good products will be at a premium and good product developers will be almost non-existent, it'll be a perfect storm for new start-ups to get rich.Right now we're still trying to preserve our nice things as they currently exist thoughever, and that's getting in the way of the market correcting itself. Either way we're probably in for a full century of really, really shitty conditions where people can barely afford electricity, let alone modern luxuries.
>>741661750US money is propped articially and there's still room for it to tend downwards even when you disregard inflation.
If Gabe didn't buy his latest mega yacht and instead used the money to subsidize the first million steam machines, the price would have been less than $300 per unit.
>>741662220>US MoneyYou mean all money, everywhere. The only other potential polar powers are China and Russia - Russia is dying on the battlefield, China is dying domestically since they've drastically overvalued almost every aspect of their economic system. They're in for a demographic collapse about 50 years sooner than the rest of the world too, thanks to their former One Child Policy and its consequences.When the US goes down, so will everybody else, and the world knows this, which is why nobody is in any particular hurry to correct it, not even the Chinks. They're backwards, but they're not stupid. They know what this will mean for the world - widespread starvation and the overturning of most of our civilizations into temporary anarchy when the governments of the world have to come out and tell people they can't have nice things anymore, or possibly ever again.
>>741661750No. Part of the reason the super rich and even going in so hard on AI is because they completely want to replace the people they employee because they know things are about to get bad and need something without any kind of moral limitations to protect them. The thing is all they did is buy into a con.
>>741661750We're heading full speed ahead towards a complete collapse of society in case it isn't glaringly obvious. It might not happen this year, hell it might take several years but we all know it's coming.
>>741640323shouldn't majority of steamgroids already have a pc?this is more like for people who want to larp as a steamgroid
>>741642884are they better tho? just just list prices, talk about performances. these aren't consoles dude
>>741640323One is basically a computer that can emulate even the switch and has more juice as well as full access to anything on steam. The other is the switch 2. It has no games worth playing that werent just on the switch 1. You have to pay Nintendo to run an emulator with none of the games you want or pay even more for an n64 emulator with one or two decent games on it and have to pay Nintendo to use any online feature. You'd have to be Indian to think the switch 2 is better.
>>741662797>You'd have to be Indian to think the switch 2 is better.You'd have to be a basedboy to even remotely think that. Also an RTX3070 laptop is better than troonix e-waste machine
>>741640323>console once again being blamed for holding the PC backholy shit lmfao
>>741641420Someone edit the i need a break meme with Nintendo
BWAHAHAHAHAAHA
>>741662797you can get a fuck emulator knock off for like 100-200 dollars and download some roms on it and have just as much as fun as a steaming pile of shit.
>>741640323>Laugh at Steamgroidsyou mean...laugh at people who already have PC's and can just not buy this? you really showed us...the pc i already have is stronger than the PS6 Pro will be in the future btw.
>>741643186Shartrannies received orders to samefag this at pisscord.
>>741650374>monke gamethat shit makes drv3r at release look super optimized.
>>741660605>Go to a friends house>bring cube to play mario kart, party or some random fighting games and also random pc games???You guys dont do this?
Seriously, if you are using Linus or GamersNexus as your main source of opinions in 2026, you are actually fucking retarded.
>>741642082>some retard bring his dumb cube to party>"come on guys, let's play some games">everyone is either talking to each other or on their phone>in verge of tears "c-come on guys, remember our childhood, haha.... playing video games together? I-I'm going to cry, please.... Someone..."
>>741664371>his "friends" dont share interests with him and ignore him like tablet kiddiesSad
>>741660605i mean i wouldn't bring video games to a party but you sound like a tendie and should kys
>>741664371>has to make up scenarios in his head as an "attempt" to dunk on valvefagsThe absolute state of tendies.
>>741664618>friends gathering>party?
>>741640323Valve don't have very good luck with hardware. Should've just canceled this.
>>741664610if the party or gathering already have people with similar interest in gaming, then the fucking place should already have something to play with, not waiting for some dumb asshole to bring his cube "because it's portable">>741664675dude I'm a pcfag
We can blame Jensen and Altman for this.Buttcoin mining was a scam too but it was only messing up the graphics card market whereas the AI scam is fucking EVERYTHING up.
>>741640638>cherry picked gameWhat it's like being such a faggot?
>>741664734>then the fucking place should already have something to play withAnon forgets abouts the concept of options, exclusivity and people buying different things for the purpose of 1 post
>>741640323Why every hardware manufacturer has to be a massive jew regarding storage? The 2tb ssd doesn't cost $380 more compared to the 512gb and the 512gb is not free making the 2tb version way overpriced.
>>741664779Jensen is repeating the same shit that killed 3dfx
>>741664676my point stands, only a fat tendie retard would say some shit like >we can play uhhhhh early access roguelite deckbuilders together
>>741665125>only a fat tendie retard would say some shit like>>we can play uhhhhh early access roguelite deckbuilders togetherI can tell by the way you keep repeating it lmao
>>741650774>calls others brown while simping for corporationslol
>>741642884>>741652351It's not just a matter of performanceMost prebuilts tend to cheap out on as many things as possibleSure it'll have the CPU, GPU and GBs of RAM advertised, but stuff like the motherboard, PSU and storage will be dogshit. The cooling also tends to be pretty badBasically with a lot of prebuilts you'll start having problems after 2-3 years
>>741664781>uurgh... It... it d-doesn't count fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!Seethecession accepted.
Is this the good choice for my first PC
>>741640323pay up, chuds, gaben needs another yacht. and make sure you NEVER buy from epic game store, competition in this space is very very dangerous. just trust good ole' steam to have your best interests at heart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF6eAM3jhCYYou guys made it seem like it was shit but it's running games good in this ETA Prime video????
>>741665538fuck no dude
>>741665538yes because it's portable
>>741665538Not really, in fact I'm struggling to see the niche in which this is actually a good purchase
>>741665683Sharteens doesnt play videogames, they parrot youtubers with shit opinions.
>>741665337This is FUD. While the components aren't the best, these PCs last for like a decade (although you will upgrade by then usually).It's the same as Anons saying gaming laptops are junk that overheat and burn themseves out after a year. But they are operating on 2001 knowledge and new laptops have much better cooling.
>>741666586>This is FUDLiterally everyone I've known who had problems with relatively new machines had prebuilts
>>741642240Not same money. ITX parts are expensive as fuck unless you buy utter dogshit.
>>741666818>ITX parts are expensive as fuckeh, only really the SFF power supplies. ITX mobos are either equivalent or cheaper than full ATX boards, since they compromise heavily on I/O to achieve a smaller footprint. Case price varies wildly, but there's been some half decent affordable SFF cases.
>>741665871kill yourself niggercattle
>>741665683Surprisingly good results, but still not worth the price imo.
>>741666672I have a pre-built from ibuypower. 3 years later and it is still going strong. I also habe a laptop from msi. Repasted after 2 years and still works like a champ.
>>741662450>When the US goes down, so will everybody else, and the world knows this,anon, most countries are decoupling from muttland exactly for this reason, and by now most have successfully done sokicking the AI can down the road killed your chances to suicide and take out everyone else
>>741640323what the fuck is groids? as in negroids? that doesn't rhyme nor make sense, at that point why don't just call them steamfaggots/steamniggers?jesus fuck this is depressing.
>>741666981The cases and PSUs are expensive. I've never seen a cheap case that didn't look like absolute garbage. Even some pretty expensive stuff looks REALLY cheap.
>>741658656does the PS5 also come with no subscription service to update and play your games online and lets you use your own internet without an extra fee?the PS5 runs on performance mode, what graphic settings equivalent to the PC version is the performance mode running?
>>741640480I blame Slopya Nadella and their slop ambition
>>741667254>look likeWho cares what it looks like?I care about practicality over aesthetics with any case
>>741647441I bought that exact HDD for $400 2 years ago. Currently using it for my plex server. Prices have gotten insane.
>>741642319Not that much of a difference. Some titles play much worse than Windows and you lose access to multiplayer games due to anticheat not being supported on Linux.
>>741651106Are you talking about the PS5?
NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>741640493Nvidia drivers are so hilariously shit on Linux, you have no idea. It can't handle compiling shaders still.
>Buy PS5>Hack it to run BazziteThere you go. Steam machine for you
valve is a small indie company stop holding it to the same standards as shartendo or snoy
I don't quite understand why people are upset. This is how much a PC with similar specs will cost>Muh you can build it for $300 lessWithout a case and with the cheapest PSU and motherboard that will fry the whole thing at one pointIf you're THAT poor, then sure, go buy a PS5, it still runs some games at 720p.
>>741668219>This is how much a PC with similar specs will costpeople keep posting prebuilds for the same specs with far better specsand again, that's with the prebuilt tax
>>741668562The ones I've seen have absolutely terrible components, the kind I really wouldn't trust. With PSUs assembled in basements in India that pose a fire hazard, and motherboards that melt processors at will.
>>741668048I mean somewhat unironically yeah, at least when it comes to hardware. Especially compared to fucking sony who have shitloads of other hardware products. But really almost every company except like the 5 biggest tech firms is gonna get fucked when it comes to hardware components right now.
>>741668839buying a prebuilt and swapping out the psu for a good one is cheaper and has far more performance than the cult cube nigga
>>741667484Nobody is gonna buy a small form factor system unless they care about what it looks like you absolute fucktard. You can just use a cardboard box and matx board with ATX PSU (cheapest possible combination) if you don't care. Nobody pays premium price for SFX PSU, spends time looking up dimensions of their cooler to make sure it fits the case and then wants to end up with some ugly piece of shit.That's completely retarded.
Steam DRONES will still defend this somewhat. GABE needs another Yacht STEAMpiggies go and pay up.
>>741652529Trannies are always offensive to the senses.
>>741640323Does Steam Machine beat my current gaming PC? Might upgrade if that's the case.>i7-8700k 3.7ghz GTX1080ti 16gb mem
>>741643186NOOOOOOOOOOO STOP THE STEAM HATE!! MODS, MODDSSS ONLY WE CAN SHIT ON (sony, nintendo, xbox)
>>741646608of course it will sell out, when you make only 5k units it's 100% assured, don't forget scalper sales too :^)
>>741669135By that point you can just build your own PC. And yes, with good components, it'll end up being cheaper than the Cube, but that's just how consoles work. You've always been able to build a PC comparable to a console for less money.
valve are like my family, they are my fren I support my frens no matter what. they are for the fans
The people laughing at Steam Machine’s price will turn around once Sony announce the PS6 and it’s like $1500.
>>741669537Why are they always fat
>>741670772>PS5 is almost done>Still has no gamesWho is going to buy a PS6 with a 1500 price tag and no games aside from a hardcore fanboy?
>>741669771>first two are reasonable but the next is batshit retarded and the last is even worseWhy can’t you niggers just stick to actual criticism?
>>741670772This shit isn't even more powerful than base PS5 so lmao
>>741670772Gabecube is worse than the PS5 Pro though, not to mention any eventual successor, so why would they change their tune?
>>741640323grim
>>741667958you have to get an old ps5 to do that and it requires a retarded procedure to launch into linux every timenot feasible
>>741640323Even an Ouya was worth buying over this.
If it was a windows based pc I'd buy it in a heartbeat but a linux based PC, I already got a steam deck and its compatibility with newer games is shit. I'll just stick with a windows PC for the same price with only slightly worse specs

thank you xi jinpingfiirst it was steam reviewsthen it was steam hardwaredeath to the digital only trojan horse of pc gaming

>>741664853>optionsSo why would they bring something as weak as this?
Gaming isn't a poor person hobby anymore.
Give it to me straight bros... SURELY the PS6 and Helix are going to be under 1k, right?
>>741674665Absolutely no way. Sony's cope will probably just be marketing the PS6 as a premium console that still won't have any damn games. Helix is probably getting a bullet to the head if all those rumors going on about Xbox end up being true.
>>741641318Yup.
>>741674732>>741674665the specs on the ps6 put it well above the ps5 pro abd that shit is like what 899?no fucking chance it isnt at minimum 900 bucks
reminder you can get a ps5 pro with 2TB AND it comes with the controller for 700$. It's also about 3x as powerful as the gabecube. No being able to play Stellaris 20 feet away on your couch squinting while rubbing your gabetrollers pads isn't a selling point
>>741674825>700What?https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/27/new-price-changes-for-ps5-ps5-pro-and-playstation-portal-remote-player/
>>741674665The Switch 2 won't even be under 1000 after Nintendos RAM contracts come up for renewal.
>>741674873why are you buying directly from the playstation website retard, oh i forgot your a valve drone
Does valve even care that much if this flops?
>>7416617502 jew created warsa retarded USA politician who has started a trade war that can never be worn.Tech companies in an AI bubble war.Don't expect it to end any time soon and dont expect prices to go down even when it does end.
>>741640434You can't
>>741675058No because Valvefags will buy it. They couldn't predict how bad things were going to get due to Datacenters, but they have an obligation to launch the thing.
>>741640323512gb ssd lol imagine not buying ssd 2 or 3 years ago after they plateaued at $200 for a 4tb m.2

>>741640323>>741640434what exactly is the next gen of consoles going to look like?they'll need to do a bit of shrinkflation or some other underhanded tactic, since this upfront cost approach clearly has a weakness, as OP has demonstrated.
>>741673693>>741673753>still going muh pokemonProved the point, palfagsYou can tell Palworld lost because none of their music comes close to something like the Wild Battle Theme, they don't have depth like Pokemon abilities, they have nothing like N's story, and can't even meme being shit on like 7.8 too much water.
>>741675132Valvefags have PC's with better specs than this shit. It doesn't even have more vram than most steam users already have.
>>741665337strictly in terms of the graphics card and CPU included it was still a shit deal. I just didn't care enough to research.
>>741675759Why does there need to be a new generation at all? Current hardware should be more than enough to make any game imaginable. Games barely look any different from ten years ago but run 4x as poorly.
>could just post the steam website>NO LOOK XITTER WOW XITTER MAN HOLY SHIT XITTERKill yourselves.
>>741640323>16GB RAM instead of 32GB RAM>8GB VRAM instead of 12-16GB VRAMTheres the problem.
I genuinely think valve should have canned this, most of there existing user base already have a good enough PC while potential customers just see this as an overpriced console>b-but it’s not their fault, it’s AISo what? What is the average consumer gonna do about it? Their only choices are to eat the cost or not buy it, and guess most people will choose?
>>741641771>light gamingHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>741676297Nah I think this is fineThey wanted to release it just to test steamOS moreJust sell out your stock, take the flop on the chin and look to the future
>>741640323S STOP LAUGHING OUR LEADER JEW GABEN IS HECKIN BASED WE'RE SUPERIOR TO NINTENDO AND SONY STOP LAUGHING WERE THE PC STEAM CHAD GODS STOP LAUGHING
JUST
tell me again how this affects my $5000 gaming rig?
what GPU should I get to replace my current shitty 2070 super?budget about 1kideally 1440p medium 60fps or high settings with lower fps
I love Steam but releasing a PC with those prices and specs is just shit move. Also didn't Gabe buy another yacht or house or something some weeks ago?
>>7416778409070xt
>>741678042This. Runs about $300 or so less than the 5070 Ti and the performance is within single digits even in ray tracing.
>It's too expensive I could build a better computer for the same price. Do it, no one cares.This is going to be an awesome machine for people who play in their living rooms / use it to legally obtain media and watch shows on the desktop mode. We are too busy hyper criticizing everything that doesn't concern us.People who are clearly never going to buy anything are way too opinionated on something they have never actually had, go cry about it on Reddit.
>>741678018>doooood, didnt he buy a house or boat or sumthin???Why do you people post this as some sort of gotcha?
>>741640323Your PS6 is next Your Xbox is nextYour Switch 3 is nextYou will subscribe to cloud computingYou will be happy.
>>741679956Why doesnt anyone firebomb this nigga?
>>741678790i thought valve were supposed to be the good guys, he could have bought one less superyacht and one less mansion to subsidize it
I use steam to buy games not hardware tho?
>>741640493Radeon has good drivers though. I would absolutely pick a 9070 XT over a 5080. Nvidia’s tech advantage doesn’t matter if your computer is unreliable.>t. 2060 to 7900 XT user
>>741640323>>741640434You are not going to build a small form factor PC with the same specs for cheaper.
>>741651184No, but as long as enough retards believe the lie then his shill tactic was successful.
>>741682220I have been using Nvidia all my life and literally never had any issues with drivers.
>>741678790because youre not a friend of gamers like you present yourself if you are overcharging like a jew while buying a literal 500.000.000$ yacht while already being giga rich
Valvefags don't like it when the price hike happened to Valve huh? Pretty much running damage control for Gabe after mocking every console for increasing their prices and it finally happened to them and it is their turn to be the laughingstock.
>>741666586>This is FUDthat's a term I've not heard in a while
>>741682563it was a shit deal at $750, I can't believe people are defending that price too.
>>741682563Most steam users are buying games and NOT hardware from steam. PC fags are always complaining about price hikes on hardware.
>>741658531the white men in question: >>741669537
>>741682563the karma they farmed over doomfagging the 50 bucks switch 2 increase is biting them back hard
>>741682726Steamfags have literally be running damage control all day explaining why acashually the price is really good you can't build a better mini PC for cheaper!!
>>741648183holy luddite brown retard
>>741681804>>741682726Console fags can't comprehend this
>>741643186>STOP THE COUNTshould have said that to gabe when he was pricing this ewaste in his new 500$ million dollar megayacht.
>>741652529im a tranny, can i rape you? its ok i cum in 4 seconds.
>>741640434depends. its not that bad for the price. Ram is obviously expensive still so that's driving up the price.
This cube had dogshit specs too. You won't be able to play any AA/AAA game from the past 5 years, unless you want to play on 480p 30 fps. Only indie / pixel games will be playable on that.
>>741682998(Me) performance on the level of rtx 3060
>>741682563The hypocrisy is astounding. Steamfags are defending a piece of crap just because they are now in the spotlight for mockery.
>>741682998>You won't be able to play any AA/AAA game from the past 5 yearsGOOD
>>741667401Its painfully obvious when a pcfag crawls out from under their rock to attempt to fling decades old misinformation.Do steam cucks think you gotta pay a online sub for game updates on consoles? Some games allow use of online features as well with no subscription. Just recently played Nier Automata and all the online stuff like player corpses to the online check at end credits for assistance in getting best ending are all accessible with no sub required
>>741683329PS5 fags are literally being grandfathered in by keeping their subscription going because if they don't they will be hit by the price increase. You are getting raped and you LOVE it. Don't miss your payment now lol
>>741675220Is that israel?
>>741641318>>741640323tendie faggots and in general /v/ retards here seem to forget that Valve and Steam doesn't solely rely on the console sales to survive, its just a bonus thing that they wanted to do which just fucked them over a bit because of the bad timing.Most of their money maker is still Steam itself and people are still buying games there thus Valve still gaining a ton of money.But if something like the Switch doesn't sell or no one buys them, then no one can go to their store and buy games too, thus no money, see the difference?
>>741641771>rx with 8gb>16gb ram>650wnigga...
>>741683829if this is true they could have subsidized it by buying one less yachtthey didn'tyou're defending a company routinely buying billions worth of yachts and mansions
>>741664163And how would you do that without breaking the law? Even if I was retarded enough to do that at home secretly, I sure as hell wouldn't do it at a public gathering with tons of people where anyone can report you.
>got mine for $400 second handAbsolutely nothing wrong with it too. Im enjoying it. Plays alot more then just 'steam deck approved' games.
That's very expensive for some apu based hardware.
>>741684239It's a niche device they sell to existing Steam users. There's no point to subsidizing it.Now the Deck 2? I can 100% see them subsidizing that.
>>741640434>compact PCor you could not waste money on a retarded smaller pcit's not a laptop or handheld so a smaller form factor is a completely useless gimmick
>>741648183lmao. based retard
>>741667225LFMAO
>>741669183No?You buy SFF to fit it in a tight space, such as in a cabinet under your TV or something. What its case looks like hardly matters so long as it functions properly and fits the space footprint you need.
>>741641418Wait until you find out about lane starvation on consumer CPUs
>>741651184Yes. No fucking clue why I can't attach an image to this post (just says upload failed) so here's links then, steam machine versus a base PS5https://images.digitalfoundry.net/d9cf80da31cfb/12.large.jpghttps://images.digitalfoundry.net/667cb0bbe658a/11.large.jpghttps://images.digitalfoundry.net/674e68814768c/10.large.jpg

now that the dust has settledwas it worth the weight?
>>741651184
>>741691386something worth noting is the dogshit stutter on the frame pacingit may not look bad on a youtube video but when actually playing it will feel like a few frames of input lag out of the blue for no reason at seemingly random, which is far more annoying than it sounds
Why are browns so upset with steam and valve in general?
the fact it was ever even a discussion that a PC gamer should want to buy a branded pre-built console-ization of a PC should be considered a black mark on PC gamer identity.steam really cucked (You)
>>741641848>pre-builtRetard.
I have no ideas why they thought it's a good idea
>>741682318Retard, look at the benchmarks
>>741667401Im pretty sure ps5 can run linux, maybe even steamos
I got a steamdeck for 350. The fuck is this shit? how much better is it than the deck even?
>>741692217no you fucking idiotno actual snoy can do thatin order to run linux on the ps5 you need to hold onto old firmware which is harder to find and more expensive and sony explicitly states in their eula that you're not allowed to use old firmwareit also prevents you from launching newer games that require newer firmwareit's effectively not a fucking ps5, just an obnoxious and outdated linux prebuilt that requires having a dedicated router for it and has a humiliating method to even start itand in the end you have a pc that has to divide its 16gb into ram and vram
Terrible day for poor thirdies
>>741692732Who the fuck cares nigger if its cheaper as a pc than the gabecube then fatty lost
>>741640323>$1000 is much
>>741693562>who caresanyone that isn't a fucking moron?you're looking at paying $700 for low firmware ps5 and you end up with a piece of shit that's splitting 16gb into ram and vramat that price point you just fucking build a pc
I'm sorry saars but Steam very good
>>741675220cringe toxotroon tendoid
>>741640323Consoleniggers appear to have genuinely mistaken the PC for a console, they somehow seem to think that if you don't buy this specific PC, which isn't even as expensive as the PCs many already have, you won't be able to play PC games
>>741640434https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kh7rvR
btw the only people laughing are the 0.0000001% of people who build their own PC's. normal human beings who purchase pre-built PC's understand that the pricing in in accordance with hardware price hikes as a consequence of AI.there's nothing out of the ordinary going on here.
>>741643186We are having quite nuanced discussion. Many details to ponder about
>>741662450the petrodollar has been losing value as an important commodity for a while now. many countries are diversifying their portfolios now because burger money is unstable.
>>741640323512gb of storage is just criminal
>>741640434My 5070ti computer was 2000 bucks, and it included MS Office
>>741641420Holy hell this really mindraped tendies lel
>>741640434Lol.Not in the Trump world.Pre-Trump you could find good ram for ~100-200In the Dark Age of Trump you can't find ram under 2k
>>741695848Bro, what is normal about this? You are paying a premium for a device with no exclusives and seemingly lacking the diversity of a regular PC while already getting into the price range where you can just save up some more and get a way more powerful rig that can do way more. You're going to have to explain what I'm missing here.
>>741678315Except the market for people who want this is incredibly small.
>>741695848The issue is that you can buy a prebuilt for less than this and much better than this. You're paying for the brand like its an Apple PC at this point.
>>741701384No, no, no there is a huge casual base for a Linux based machine that costs 1500 with controller that only runs old games and needs to run Netflix through a web browser.
Watch it sell out quickly.
>>741650774You write [human buzzword] then you believe [human buzzword] because it conforms with your bias. You are stupid.
>>741701665even if real customers didnt scoop them up scalpers would
Show me some good prebuilts. They didnt have anything especially good on Prime day.
:(
>>741701805because prime day is all fake sales
>>741649982kek. $599 US dollars seemed insane back thenInflation adjusted that's $995, so the comparison is (sadly) pretty accurate.
>>741702205difference is steam machine is a barebones shit pc while the ps3 had lots of tech bloat like blu ray driving its price up
>>741685142>so a smaller form factor is a completely useless gimmickSomething that does not take up a lot of space or use a lot of power is a nice thing to have.
>>741685142Bringing a girl over and you have some massive 50 pound brick shitbox in your living room is gonna give her such an ick bro
okay I'll just keep using steam on my desktop pc
>>741703225just buy a case a woman would approve of
The amount of valve shills running overtime to defend this piece of shit makes the most insane tendies and snoys look moderate
>>741703225A girl like that is going to think the same thing, if she sees you playing any game regardless.Doubly so, if you start talking about the "steam box." Might as well have an android phone while you're at it.
>a mini pc that cannot run anything else other than steamwow that's like my nightmare, and they're selling it for a thousand dollars.
>>741701354you don't seem to understand what an extremely niche "hobby" it is to build your own PC's. the vast overwhelming majority of people don't have the interest or time to do that.
>>741701484>The issue is that you can buy a prebuilt for less than this and much better than this. You're paying for the brand like its an Apple PC at this point.i know, but the point of this product is to appeal to normies who are not into the whole "build your own pc" hobby (which is a vanishingly niche ohbby).most steam users are PC players, they buy pre-built PC's. the steam console is not even for them. the steam console is to gain entry into the console gaming market by creating a product that appeals to them.
>>741704029you can switch to desktop mode and use it as a pc though
>>741640638>schizocück still posting this for years when it's no longer even truehang yourself already you fat incel cuck
>>741640323Pretty sure like 99% of the PC gamers already own a gaming PC. It's not like gabe is putting a gun to our heads and forcing us to buy the Steam machine to keep playing Steam games. Tho that doesn't stop nintendo fanboys acting like that is what's really happening.
>>741704171It's twice the price of a PS5 and it's demonstrably weaker than one in a way even normalfags can comprehend. This is for no one
>>741704223shut up
>>741704317>It's twice the price of a PS5 and it's demonstrably weaker than one in a way even normalfags can comprehend. This is for no oneyou just fundamentally do not understand business. that's okay.
>>741704278>Wholesome uncle Gabe would never do anything to hurt you, you don't have to buy this>BUT NINTENDO THO!!!!Nintendo derangement syndrome, SAD!
>>741704357Wow I'm sure you really know business, selling a piece of shit massively overpriced to get entry into the console market is a great plan. Even better, it doesn't even have a single exclusive, brilliant business plan here. But at least it can appeal to normalfag console players by giving them a way to play GTA 6. Oh wait, no it doesn't do that.
>>741704171We have better prebuilt PCs, they cost under $1000. Just stop spreading lies about it.
>>741642916>>741690637>>741691386Maybe its a dumb question but if the ps5 is more powerful why cant you jsut jailbreak it and install windows on the ps 5 and trat it like a PC?Is it genuinly impossible or just not worth the effort
>>741704498I know we have better prebuilt PCs, I know they cost under 1000 usd. I know that you know this too.Do you think a lot of people know this?
>>741675975stop asking questions and consume new product
>>741704510Someone already did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUD3XMOz524
>4k gaming machinehehe
>>741646273>35 bucks PSU
>>741704557Even if normies ask Google Ai or search, it’s always going to result in them seeing Mac being cheaper, prebuilt laptop being optimized for gaming and prebuilt less than $1000. Steam Machine can not convince Ai or sellers that it’s better when other PCs are better.
>>741658967>this time pc is doomed>>741654709Sorry gcjtranny, Iran chimped out so they're getting nothing
>>741640323>haha this completely superfluous thing is expensiveI already have Steam on my PC, why would I ever buy this anyway
>>741704587thats coolCan it still play ps5 games?Also how does it perform?
>>741704764yeah, you just don't understand the market or consumer behaviour lmao.90%+ of consumers don't know about "building your own pc" fyi
>>741641771>$100 dollar case>ASROCK mobo>DDR5>2tb SSDYou not even trying
>>741704913it can't ever be allowed to connect to the internet while in ps5 OS and it can't play anything that requires a firmware update
>>741646273Is the GPU really an equivalent of 7600? are they aiming for 1080p at 30fps? No fucking way it's this underpowered >>741650068There's always enough mindless drones for shit like this to sell out.
>>741692191>benchmarks>high and ultra graphics without framegen on Steam Machine at 2160p>PS5 runs on a dynamic resolution and performance mode>console versions are optimized for console use while PC versions are baseline more demanding and don't account system and hardware variables as they're tested on top of the line rigs of the developersvery good comparisons indeedSince your PS5 is so powerful, just turn it into a PC, you'll realize just how fucking bad the hardware actually is, you don't seem to understand how big of a difference there is between a console-gutted version of a game and a PC versionYou'll seriously look at picrel and go "SWITCH RUNS THIS GAME AT STABLE 60FPS WHILE PS5 STUTTERS AT 59,9FPS, HAHAA SONYKEKS IN SHAMBLES".
>>741640434Non-compact, second-hand parts, cheaper, pick any two
>>741676228Nah, those wouldn't be a problem if it was cheap enough. You can get a prebuilt PC with similiar specs for around 800 bucks. The small form factor and the supposed convenience would be enough for some to pick this one instead.
>>741705052thats a bit of shame but still cool though
imagine being a consolefag in current year
>>741662746Not him but here's the cheapest costco PC I found on their website. I have no clue what that cpu is but it claims the ram is ddr5. Cheaper than the 2TB steam cube by a hundred bucks. Way bigger Unknown build quality and thermalsUgly RGBBetter GPU and ram.https://www.costco.com/p/-/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop-intel-core-ultra-5-225f-geforce-rtx-5060-32gb-ram-1tb-ssd-windows-11/4000445406?sp=grs&langId=-1Also comes with one year of Mcafee (lol)
>>741705161I game on PC already, the Steam Machine specs are simply a joke for the money they're asking.>yesterday's tech with tomorrow's prices
>>741700963In the Golden Age of Trump we have AI, which finally made computers useful.
>>741705570this and then imagine buying worse hardware than your own console lmao
>>741705595Intel really boned it with the new CPU naming scheme. I have no idea how these chips are supposed to perform beyond "i5".
Honestly I'm just waiting for the frame so I can have a standalone headset that isn't zuckercuck shit
>>741706324Yeah, there sure is more interest in that market than in small form factor gaming PCs.
>>741705719They picked an incredibly bad time to build and sell it, due to the AI datacenters and shitThe specs wouldn't really matter if it was priced correctly. It's obviously meant to be an entry level system for people without PC's.People who already use PC's, most likely don't even care for pre-builts. Once you're integrated into the PC ecosystem, building your own system is only a matter of time, after which you'll always keep upgrading the parts yourself.
>>741649553>uses only 140W of powergenuinely, do any first-worlders care about this. electricity is super cheap, this isn't the 80s
>>741706680Apparently they were planning to price it at $750 were it not for the RAM crisis, and I don't think that's a good price either. At the end of the day, the specs are too low for 2026 standards. Maybe if they released this shortly after the Deck launched it'd have its place.
>>741665438even having a 7900xtx it's a stupid, bullshit fucking comparison. who the fuck cares about racket and jank?
>>741665538No, go for a prebuilt, if you have no interest in making one yourself. It'll be cheaper, and actually upgradable.
by definition e-waste
>>741704223how about I buy a pc with same specs for cheaper, install steam, and whatever I want? have steamies completely lost it?
>>741641420and this affects the consumer how?
>>741708720nintendo getting raped out of their patents means you can make a wider variety of games
>>741652002Stop using it for shit you don't need and it will. If you, for example, like watching media, get a shitty piclone that playbacks the same video for 5W and with no wear on your real PC.
>>741709185the pic of the companies blowing their brains out represents them making an anti consumer move, like a 900 dollar ps5 for example.If Nintendo's patent lawsuit didnt land, then how does this affect consumers?
>>741706793>>741706680If they tried to sell it for $600 back when RNDA3 came out, it would have sold gangbusters because it would have still be fairly decent specs for the era. As of right now it simply has no reason to exist.
>>741706309Low tier i5 there.
>>741643186A sticky was necessary with the amount of shitpost.
>>741640323>512GByou can put like 3 modern games max there bros...
>>741646273That $35 power supply is going to kill someone one day.
